BT To Test Bandwidth On Demand, Using Openet's PCC

      

John Kennedy reports to silicon republic that ".. BT will be the first telecoms firm to test the Exemplar Dynamic Desktop, a cloud solution to enable firms to deliver bandwidth on demand, developed by Intune Networks, Openet and Amartus .. The Liquid Bandwidth solution .. allows operators to increase a customer’s bandwidth remotely from a desktop. The Catalyst project is based on Intune Networks' Optical Packet Switch and Transport (OPST) technology, Amartus Service Commander and Openet’s Policy Charging and Control (PCC). The project is a pre-cursor to developing the toolset needed to create a distributed data centre based upon cloud services".

Peter Willis (pictured), chief data network strategist, BT Innovate & Design said: “Liquid bandwidth services will empower customers to purchase bandwidth when needed in a cost-effective and timely manner that closely tracks their real hour-by-hour and day-by-day bandwidth requirements with the comfort that the network can 'flex' to meet any unanticipated demands”

"The project will be showcased during TM Forum Management World, and will show how carriers can offer innovation and network monetisation via a programmable network API linked to the TM Forum MTOSI Services standards"
